IBM, HONEYWELL OCTAL CODES TO UNIX PROBLEM

[Wm E Davidsen Jr]

  When we converted from Honeywell to other machines we just broke up
the tape with software. I assume that either your harware doesn't let
you read the individual records off the tape or you have to do it in
COBOL (which you mentioned). If you're in a hurry write a couple of line
C program to do the job. We did several thousand tapes a few years ago.
